Karma
In any-town we had a discussion about, karma.
Karma is as most of you know "what goes around come around"
Karma is like a person, in my mind at least. Karma has a good side and a bad side. There is good karma and bad karma. In other words, if you do something good, then good will come back to you. Or for the bad side, if you do something bad, then bad will come back to you.
Karma is pretty much a state of opinion. Some people believe in karma, others don't. Mr. Kane is a strong believer in karma. He always tries to do good things to keep his karma in balance.
As the group discussion continued we sort of got into the topic of karma being used with selfishness. Do you do good deeds, just so you can get good back? Sounds sort of selfish right? Katlyn Goldwood brought up a good point, or at least I think so, she said something around the lines of "sometimes its hard not to be selfish because almost everything you do can be turned around into something selfish" I think if you are one of the strong believers in karma then it seems like you do good deeds just so you can get the good back to you. Maybe you didn't intentionally go into that good deed with being selfish in your mind, you were just subconsciously being selfish. And honestly, I don't think that is a bad thing. If you are being the slightest bit selfish but you are helping someone or making someone's day better, I don't think being selfish matters that much at all. As humans its hard for us not to be selfish. Its genetically installed into us, maybe installed more intensely in others but we all have it. Being selfish is a bad thing also, don't get me wrong. But its being selfish when its seriously only you in mind. If that even makes any sense at all.
Anyways, there's my little rant about karma. Oh, and for the record, I do believe in karma.
You don't have to agree with me "I don't care what you think, as long as you think"

Stepping it up
I have almost reached the 4 1/2 week mark of school and I have definitely realized that this year is a lot harder than last year. I really need to step it up if I am going to get my straight A's that I am hoping to get. English used to be an easy breeze for me, but now that I am in honors things have definitely gotten hard, seems like I actually have to try hard this year. AP World History has shown me the importance of studying and actually reading! If I don't read and take good notes on the chapter then my grade can seriously drop. The good thing is test make ups. Which I need to definitely work on! Chemistry has been a pain in the butt, not going to lie, it's definitely not being good to me. Math is real easy, maybe I will go into honors next year. I can't this year because my whole schedule would get all messed up, so I don't really want to risk it. French is definitely getting challenging even though Mme McMullin has been a lot chiller than she was last year. Theatre isn't very fun at the moment just because I don't like the monologues I am currently working on. I wish I had more time to actually find a legitimate monologue. Seminary is seminary, I am finally starting to warm up to my class even though some people do not know how to not be annoying as crap. Oh and lunch is pretty good, I like the people me, Jenna and Kayla hang out with everyday. I do wish that Gunnar and that little group still had my lunch because I miss those boys. This week at school is going to be pretty hectic. I've got a hard english vocabulary quiz, and a french quiz tomorrow. Another vocabulary quiz for english on Thursday and a packet it due. Homework is not fun. Not at all.
With my mother entering into her last 4 weeks of her pregnancy, I can only really describe her in one word: Bipolar. Emotions running around up the walls! One minute she is my best friend and the next I get in trouble for not having my earring on right. I guess that's the price you pay for having a pregnant mother. But wait it's not MY fault she's pregnant, so I shouldn't have to pay a price ha ha.
I really want to get out of Arizona for a while. I want to go with a few friends and just get out for a weekend. I seriously just need a break from reality for a little while. I want to do something that I am going to remember in 50 years and smile about it. I wish I was about 1 year older so I could get my license in like two months. Everyone tells me I should be happy I am so young but right now my cons are stacking up higher than my pros.
I want to hang out with new people, new exciting people that know how to have fun (my kind of fun). I wish there were cool people in my neighborhood who aren't all druggies, that would be nice.
Current annoyance: Freshman & JV football players. They are so freaking cocky I cannot stand it. I want to shoot them all every single time I see them.

Updates and such.
I have not done a blog in quite a long while, so I thought I should start up again, with some updates from school and life and such.
So this year, since I am the exact opposite of fit and/or active, I decided I am going to join clubs! Well really only two, Anytown and Extra Mile Interact. I really like both of the clubs I have joined because they both are focused on things that I have a strong opinion one. Anytown-Diversity and Interact-Volunteer work.
One thing I am really looking forward to about Anytown is the chance of going to Our Town! I think that it would really be a life changing experience, just from hearing what my friends have said about it. And I am also very excited about Interact just not for one specific reason.
I am also currently in a challenge with TJ Chapman to see who can get a some what noticeable 6 pack first because we are both very unfit and eat like pigs but remain skinny because our bodies are psycho.
Music has been really affecting my mood each day, original right? But seriously the song I listen to before I go to school will be stuck in my head all day and will in the long run affect my mood on the day.
In french class I got a new name... it is Sophie! haha This is how we have to write our names on our papers RICHARDSON Sophie and then our date is written 31/8/10
Pretty cool eh?
Okay so in anytown we were talking about worries and I pretty much figured out that I am worried about a lot more stuff than I had originally thought I was. I'm scared that what I'm doing won't be worth it.
I am glad that this year, with friends, I am making some new ones, reuniting with old ones and unfortunately drifting from close ones. I really like having the lunch I have, there aren't as many annoying people that make me want to shoot myself whenever I even glance at them, except my stalker kid, sometimes he just creeps me out and makes me want to go hide in a sewer.
There are a couple updates for you I guess haha.
Oh & my mother is due in 6 weeks with the vortex child!:)

Abortion
Okay Rory asked me a question four months ago that I did not have the answer to, but now I do. His question was:
What is your view on abortion?
Okay, so I do not like abortion personally but I think it is the girls choice to have the abortion or not. I don’t think it should be illegal to get one because, as horrible as it might sound, maybe the fetus thing is better off because they could be treated horribly and abused and almost get killed. So I am pro-choice.
There was something quick that didn't want to expand on. You don't have to agree with me, I'm not telling you to. Form your own opinion on it, that's what I did.

First Day of School
Actually went pretty well. I like all of my classes, or at least the people in them. Well all except math, I like the teacher he is a cool cat, but all the people in there are so annoying! So here are my comments on each of my hours.
A Hour/Chemistry - Gwara was nice, but its the first day so I am not quite sure what to expect. SO many people in that class. I am happy Serenity is in the class, she is like my favorite person. I think it will be a pretty good year as long as Gwara is a morning person. but of course she is probably not haha.
1st Hour/Int. Theatre - Same old same old theatre as last year. But double the annoying people, seriously I thought I was going to shoot myself. This year should definitely be... interesting. At least I will actually do some acting though!
2nd Hour/Hon. English - Oh my goodness I love Ms. Jackson, she might just have given the best first impression any teacher has ever given me. I really like my class haha lots of fun people. Only two guys in that class though, kind of strange. I heard she is not a morning person but she seemed perfectly fine for now(: Oh and I really like that saying she told us "Your perception is your own reality" (sorry if I butchered it) I just think it is really interesting when I gt to thinking about it. I am def going to love that class.
3rd Hour/French II - This was kind of strange because McMullin was like REALLY nice and laid back. She like lifted all of the tules that we had last year. Apparently pregnancy was really hard on her. Actually makes me think about taking French 3 haha. Anyways lots of people I hate last year and its looking to be a good year. I am very happy Abbey got it switched so she could have it with me.
4th Hour/Lunch - I actually kind of liked 4th hour, I thought I would miss 5th too much. But I pretty much hung out with these people over the hour - Jenna Kayla Cheyenne Chris Jenny Kaleina Amy and that one girl I forgot her name. But it looks like this lunch will be good. Oh and it was freakin' HOT!
5th Hour/Math - Love the teacher, Brandl is so legitimate not even kidding. I love his tatoos and his life is really interesting. The people in the class are pretty annoying but thats okay I guess. Oh and of course I have math with Derrick Goslin again, I have had a class with him since the 4th grade. I need a break ahah.
6th Hour/Seminary - I have the same hour I had last year and like 1/2 of the same people and I have the same teacher. So that is pretty good. Except the fact for 1/2 of the other 1/2 of the people. I CANNOT STAND THEM! Ahhhh. I want my old seminary class back! With Malia and Rory, that would be nice, thanks.
7th Hour/AP World History - I am kind of nervous about this class but I have a positive attitude about it. I really like Mr. Treat he seems like a cool guy. There are A LOT of people in that class, there wasn't even enough chairs. I am glad I have it with some of my friends though. I hope it will be a good class for me.
Oh one other weird thing that happened Julie (Jeannie's cousin who used to hate me) really talked to me, like she was really nice to me. I love how this happens when me and Jeannie aren't friends and Jeannie doesn't like Julie.
A Hour/Chemistry - Gwara was nice, but its the first day so I am not quite sure what to expect. SO many people in that class. I am happy Serenity is in the class, she is like my favorite person.

Kyra Ponkilla
Oh Kyra Ponkilla I don't even know what to say. I am so sorry that this is happening to you, and that it was just dropped on you like this. I am having a hard time even getting this through my head so I can't even imagine what could possibly going through your head right now. I am seriously holding back tears typing this because I don't know what I would do without you Kyra. I am just so happy we became friends last year, you are seriously my best friend Kyra and I love you so much. We have had so many good times and I never want them to end. I just wish your mom could have warned you so we could at least say good bye (for now). I do wish you the best in California and that maybe your mom will change her mind and bring you back home where you belong in a month. Maybe there is a reason that this is happening to you right now and though the reason may be blind I guess we both have to trust that this will be good for you and everything will turn out right. Like Sela said at least you have the beach with you<3 Kyra don't let this bump in the road get to you right now, things will get better for you and I am always just a phone call away Kyra. I love you and I am going to miss you so much. Everything will be okay, I promise.
